So, now, we wait.

Polls close at 9 p.m. around Rhode Island. The state Board of Elections will be collecting unofficial results from Boards of Canvassers in 39 cities and towns.

If all goes as planned, those results will start showing up online between 9:15 and 9:30 p.m.

You can see them on the Board of Elections Web site here, or go to the home page of projo.com, which is publishing the same feed. (Presentations differ a bit.)

Projo.com and The Journal also have staff up at the Board of Elections, where they'll be tracking on key races, any glitches or other ballot-related news.

We're publishing the latest local election news in our 7to7newsblog tonight, which you can also see from our home page.

We'll be picking up reports being published for The Journal newspaper as the night wears on, too, here.
And, of course, you'll have the opportunity to sound off on the results.

So, take your pick: Get the numbers, check the blog or read about the final results -- or, at least, we hope they're final. Only time will tell.
